About: I currently have two shih tzus myself. I am very familiar with picky eaters and stubborn walkers. I am extremely patient and will love your pet as much as you do! I know how stressful it could be to leave your pet and having someone you can trust is key to enjoying yourself. Sitting and walking pups brigs joy to my life! I am a nurse and only work three days so I have a very flexible schedule. I love the dog parks and love walking around town seeing all the cute pups. My previous dog had a seizure disorder which made me extremely comfortable in administering medications. I understand elderly dogs as well. Any needs your pet has I would be happy to do so!!

About: Throughout my life, I have taken care of many animals- and more specifically dogs. I got my own dog two years ago -after having a family dog who I adored- and trained her to do tasks as a service dog for my partner alongside basic training. I have also watched multiple dogs for friends and family while they are away on vacation or business. Currently, I am a student with a very flexible schedule. I am free from Thursday through Sunday and will be adding more availability throughout the week when my schedule gets consistent. I have been a strong proponent of taking precautionary measures before accidents happen rather than after they occur. Therefore, no matter how trained a dog may be they will be watched 24/7 while outside and leashed for our walks around the neighborhood.

“Wow. I can’t say enough about the quality of care Brandon provided to our active dog Coco (who needed medicine administered and extra TLC during his visit) and our kitty Cora. His communication with us and the animals was wonderful, he updated us in real time, and everyone was in great shape when we arrived home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Brandon!”

About: I have 20+ years of pet boarding, pet sitting, dog walking experience and now my whole family shares the love - and some of the responsibilities! We are most experienced with dogs and cats, but could also care for bunnies, guinea pigs, and other small creatures! We treat all pets as family members. I work from home and we have our own dog. We love to take nice, long walks with our four legged, fury friends. I work from home and my schedule is flexible so I spend most time with our furry clients.I can’t wait to go on a walk or play with my furry clients! We are happy to come to your home or board your pets in our home. We don't have a fenced in yard but we frequent the dog park and the park near-by. In my day job I regularly work with NYPD, the court system and other federal and state agencies - therefore I have a high level security clearance.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve pet-sat on the side for friends and neighbors—it’s more of a hobby than a job because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, or keeping a routine. I make sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owner is away. I work a 9–5, but spending time with animals is genuinely one of my favorite things! I’m usually available in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, and since I work from home three days a week, I have flexibility for midday visits, walks, and playtime, too. I’m happy to help with drop-in visits for cats and dogs, dog walks, and daytime pet and house check-ins while you’re away. I don’t offer overnight stays, but I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention and care during our time together! Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I know it can be hard to leave your pets when you’re away, so I want you to feel confident they’re in good hands. I care for pets in their own homes, where they can stick to their familiar routines and feel comfortable in their space. I’ll follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and walks to medications or any little quirks that make your pet unique. I’m happy to give energetic pets plenty of playtime or let more independent pets warm up at their own pace. You’ll also get regular photo and message updates, so you always know how things are going!

About: I've been a dog owner for 20 wonderful years, dogs are my passion! They love me and I love them, from puppies to seniors, toys to giants. I am lucky have a fenced in, wooded, private, 2 acre property with plenty of room for zoomies. Boarding dogs is my main gig, so I stay home with them all day and night. They are never unsupervised, inside or outside my property. I live in a safe, wooded, quiet, 2 acre, fenced-in lot. There are lots of dogs on my block who love to socialize and have play dates if that's what your dog is into. I'm at the end of a dirt road, nowhere near any traffic, so it is very safe and private.

About: I love playing with my dog and always make sure he is feed, walked, and is having fun. I have also been around a few different animals and always try to taylor how I treat them towards them. At 8:30am and 6:00pm my dog gets a walk and I let out my dog whenever he stands by my back door into my fenced in yards where he is free do do as he pleases (there is nothing dangerous back there). I walk him around 30 min after his meals so he get a good bowel movement in. I would alway try to leave everything as it is and only to touch what I am instructed too. The would be taken the upmost care of.

About: I recently said goodbye to my 18-year-old senior pup who was still as active and playful as when he was a puppy, even in his last weeks with us. I was his main caretaker since we adopted him when I was 10-years-old, so I have plenty of experience caring for dogs and prioritize keeping them safe and happy! We also had other dogs growing up, so I am used to caring for multiple dogs, dogs of various ages and sizes, and dogs of all energy levels. Specifically, as my doggo aged, I gained a lot of experience with medicine routines, slower walks, attention to health details, and all other requirements of caring for senior dogs. In college, I would housesit for families with all kinds of pets (including rabbits, geese and chickens!) and this helped me pay part of my school costs. However, I enjoyed caring for other's pets so much, I have continued to do so for years after college! I love getting to know new furry friends and making sure they are happy, exercised, well-fed, and enjoying themselves while their parents are away! I am currently working part-time, and often only for a few hours in the evening, so I have lots of time and flexibility to care for you pup, prioritizing being available for prime walking hours in the sunshine! I am willing to work around my part-time hours to meet your dog's routine needs. I am willing to care for the dogs in your home so they are comfortable in their own spaces and can generally keep their normal routines. I am flexible and willing to follow any instructions about your space that you provide.

About: We’re Justin and Esther—animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Justin has had pets his whole life, starting with a sweet cat named China, who had a litter of kittens he raised until their passing. Today, we care for Lunae Lux, our energetic Siberian Husky, and Fayth, Justin’s affectionate cat. For Esther, being surrounded by animals was always a dream—and marrying Justin made it a reality. It’s allowed her to bond deeply with both Lunae and Fayth, fulfilling her lifelong wish to share her days with furry companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or training, we’re passionate about giving every pet the care and love they deserve. Animals are the first and most important priority of the day, afternoon and night. They are like children in that aspect, or fur children as people say. My cat and dog get along very well. I have trained my Siberian Husky to be more understanding and caring to smaller animals such as cats.

About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of available time to spend with any pet in need. I cherish the love of all furry friends! * I offer daytime house-sitting which allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pet without overnight stay for personal reasons. My Shih Tzu has always received compliments on her friendly behavior and obedience training. She's allowed to roam freely in the home b/c there are no perishable items accessible to her. It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was in school—neighbors and friends would often ask for my help and thank me with small tips, which I used to buy school supplies. Over the years, my love for animals grew, and I eventually adopted my own dog, whom I’ve been caring for for the past nine years. I offer flexible availability on weekends at any time of day, which can be especially helpful in case of last-minute needs or emergencies. I kindly ask that you notify me at least three days in advance for any pet-sitting requests. I prioritize caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, as familiar surroundings can help reduce stress. I also enjoy taking them for walks in their neighborhood to keep them active and happy. I would have flexibility on weekends at any time of the day for greater comfort or if an emergency arises. 2 days before let me know about day sitting. Thank you I would care for your pet in the comforts of their space, sometimes it is easier when they recognize the space and additionally take them out for walks in their neighborhood.

About: Hello, neighbors! My name is Min, and I’m a technical writer and editor. For many years, I shared my life with a sweet Pomeranian who was so much more than a pet—she was my best friend and, in every sense, my little girl. Even though she’s been gone for some time, I still find a little piece of her in the eyes of every animal I meet. Some of my happiest memories are of spending time with my own little one, as well as with my friends’ dogs and cats. Those experiences are what inspired me to join Rover in the first place! 🐾 Ever since moving to NYC, one of my greatest joys has been getting to know my neighbors’ four-legged family members, saying hello, and spending a little time playing with them. I’m always happy to go the extra mile to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for. To me, every dog and cat is special, and I genuinely cherish the time I get to spend with them. So please, say hello! I’d love to meet you and your furry family members. And who knows? If they’re interested, I could even teach them a little Korean! 😂🇰🇷 Perhaps we can start with a few K-dramas on Netflix. 🐾🤗 Hello, I currently have a full-job, but hours are flexible and I usually work from home! Please, let me know if your pets have any special games that they like to play. Your dogs/cats will be my sole focus when I am with them! Please, let me know if your pets have any special games that they like to play.

Alex took wonderful care of my senior dog Georgie. He came to walk him, gave him a treat, and made sure his water bowl was full before leaving. He follows instructions carefully, is responsible and always punctual. I felt completely at ease knowing Georgie was in good hands. I will absolutely continue using Alex in the future, including longer stays. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Rockleigh

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 25,613 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Rockleigh. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rockleigh choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Rockleigh with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockleigh. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
